    Other than the Aggies, the Big XII has looked pretty good in bowl games so far.

    Damn TT never plays anybody non-conference. Whats up with that? That gimmick offense is liable to beat any non upper tier SEC team.

    Can't argue with some of the points made in Justice's blog yesterday....

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    January 01, 2008

    Guns up! Red Raiders come from behind to win another bowl game.
    Comeback? Are you kidding me? Texas Tech didn't even have to break a sweat this time. This simply was a nice finishing touch to another season in which Mike Leach proved again that he's one of the best coaches in the country. It's your loss, UCLA.

    Next season could have a Texas Tech flavor in the Big 12. The Red Raiders return the core of a team that went 9-4 and ended OU's national championship hopes. Tech finished the regular season first in the nation in yards and sixth in points.

    (In a survey conducted by the Temple University SID office, Texas Tech is second nationally with 63.3 percent (or 76 players) of its 120-man roster consisting of freshmen and sophomores. Of the Raiders' 66 regular-season touchdowns, 35 came from freshmen and sophomores. Defensively, freshmen and sophomores accounted for more than 50 percent of the tackles and 70 percent of the sacks.)

    The Red Raiders rallied from 14 down in the fourth quarter to defeat Virginia 31-28 Tuesday afternoon in the Gator Bowl. Alex Trlica's 41-yard field goal wrapped it up with two seconds remaining.

    That was small potatoes compared to last season when the Raiders came from 31 down in the second half to defeat Minnesota 44-41 in the Insight Bowl. Tech was down by 24 at the start of the fourth quarter. Trlica's 52-yard field goal as time expired forced overtime.

    Leach has said many times that bowl victory propelled the Raiders into this season. "No one believed we could do it, but we did,'' Tech quarterback Graham Harrell said.


    • • •
    Trlica has a double major--finance and accounting--and that reminds me to mention academics. I know, I know. You don't want to know how the sausage is made. But Texas Tech proves you can win football games and graduate players. Mike Leach is graduating 79 percent of his football players, according to figures released by the NCAA last fall.

    Mack Brown and Bob Stoops could learn a few lessons from Leach. Attention, parents: if you've got a kid considering playing college football and if you think graduating is important, you might consider Texas Tech.

    Mack Brown is graduating just 42 percent of his players. That's the worst in the Big 12 and far below the 67-percent national average. It's slightly below OU's 44 percent. The only major football programs with lower rates than UT are Georgia (41), Arizona (41) and San Jose State (36).


    • • •
    Though Leach is laid back off the field, it's not unusual for him to launch into loud, angry tirades on it. Danny Amendola said Leach dished out some of that during a bowl practice back in Lubbock. One afternoon, too many passes were hitting the ground and, therefore, so did the entire offense. Everyone did 20 up-downs, and then it was back to work. "We had a pretty good practice going and we kind of slowed down a little bit, and he jumped us for it,'' Amendola said. "That's why he's so successful in bowl games - the preparation he takes and everything like that.''


    • • •
    Texas Tech is the only Big 12 team to be bowl eligible every year of the league's existence.

    • Texas Tech is also the only Big 12 program to have a winning record every season since 1996.

    • Tech won a New Year's Day for the first time since winning the 1954 Gator Bowl.

    • Mike Leach is 5-3 in bowl games and has won five of six.

    Damn straight. I'm only posting this because some dumbass said all Big 12 bowl games have been boring this season.

    I know y'all cats love that super spread... Fair enough. But there is a reason the upper tier programs won't touch that Mike Leach offense. See Alabama vs. TT in the Cotton Bowl. I am just saying...

    To be open minded though. Miami with that defense, speed, and sizey recievers... They would definitely be playing a respectable bowl game right now had they hired Leach.

    Here's a nice video of Mike Leach doing the weather. "It's raining mud." (If you haven't lived in Lubbock, this does happen.)
